Northern Rock Achieves Top Marks with ILX's Blended PRINCE2 Training

Northern Rock

...British bank rolls out e-learning and classroom workshops to enhance project management skills amongst in-house IT staff...

ILX Group is working with Northern Rock to help deliver PRINCE2 training through a blend of two-day classroom workshops and e-learning. The programme will help Northern Rock to enhance project management skills amongst its valuable IT staff and improve reporting systems within the organisation. To date twenty IT staff have been trained in PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner methodology with a 100 per cent pass mark. More staff are expected to take the test later in the year. A further fifteen senior project IT managers are also undertaking the APMG Programme and Project Sponsorship qualification which will help individuals manage multiple, complex and large scale IT projects. Peter Atkinson Assistant Director at Northern Rock comments:

We took the PRINCE2 training route as it provides globally recognised best practices. This was a strategic decision for us as we wanted to align the bank’s IT project management framework to support the corporate planning process and to provide an efficient, agile IT service for the business. With the help of PRINCE2 best practices we are able to manage IT projects more expediently, whilst maintaining quality throughout the process.”

Northern Rock’s IT function develops and updates their own IT systems to serve their mortgage and savings departments and Northern Rock’s customer facing branches throughout the UK.
